Baby Bee Watched by Two Bees in Honeycomb
Coloring guide
Two big-eyed cartoon bees lean in from the left and right to look at a tiny baby bee sitting inside a hexagon honeycomb cell. The baby has little antennae and a happy open-mouth smile, with both hands on the edge of the cell. The grown-up bees have striped bodies, rounded wings, curly eyelashes and cheerful faces. More honeycomb hexagons fill the space around them, along with four flowers with round centers in the corners, a leaf or two and several hearts floating behind. Large shapes and clean lines make this a good choice for preschoolers and early elementary kids. Golden yellow suits the stripes and honeycomb, and soft pink and purple would be pretty on the flowers and hearts. Print it for classroom time or a rainy day. Love this Bee coloring page?
